Cable Back Kicks
Stand on one leg facing the machine, the other leg attached to the ankle strap of the low pulley, and the pelvis tilted forward. Grasp the handle:
- Extend the hip and pull the leg back
- Hip extension is limited by the tension of the iliofemoral (Bertin’s) ligament.
This exercise mainly works the glutens maximus and, to a lesser extent, the hamstrings (except the short head of biceps femoris).
It helps develop the profile of the hips while firming the gluteal region.
